What every answer costs

Billing

What every answer costs

Most AI products hide their economics. Onyx shows you the exact price of every AI conversation.

Where to look

  • Overview shows usage trends and totals for the month.
  • Each conversation records what that exchange cost, down to fractions of a cent.
  • Billing shows live usage against your included amount and cap, including exact overage so far.

What drives the cost

Longer questions, longer answers, and stronger models cost more. A typical grounded support answer on the default model costs well under a cent. Filtered messages (greetings and chatter the AI declines) cost nothing.

Why we do this

Metered billing only feels fair when you can audit it. Seeing per-answer costs also makes decisions easy: whether a premium model is worth it, whether your included usage fits your volume, and what a busy month actually costs you.
